  Announcing a reading group on the limits of the novel
  
  June 6 – August 29
  
  I\’d like to invite everyone to an online reading group on Finnegans Wake and Arno Schmidt\’s novel Bottom\’s Dream. We’ll be focusing on the way both books threaten the narrative of the traditional novel by privileging language, scholarly apparatus, and other material. This phenomenon includes the “novel-essay” in the generation of Proust and Musil, and postmodern texts such as Schmidt’s and Anglophone maximalist fiction. We may also be studying some of the translations of Finnegans Wake (German, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, French, Dutch…)
  
  Everyone is welcome! More information is here:
